FUN AMONG THE Aihooos.



A singular thing may occasionally b
seen in India at the festival Of the
Mehurrum. While the Shiah Mahom-
metans are lamenting in black over the
death Of ALI and his two sOns--the SON
ln-law and sran;..5ons Of the Prophet-the
Sunni ..o!.anlmc ANS are making high
festival In houor of the three first caliphs,
and masQuerading as tigers and bears to
represent the wild beasts Of the forest
which haunted the bank of the Kas
pirates when the last son Of Ali wa1
murdered. To this day the Sunni MaI
hommedans and host Of skyhrking
Hindoos will play I'll the pranks that are
described as having ta!,':is place N ths
court of Timur. Thc ?,,taeoniszn be-
tween Shah and Sunni L. occsnonaIly
lead to fighting an, hlooushsd; but pre-
liminary arrangements are generally
made by Bri, 81; nthorttaes to prevent the
possibility of collision.
So:.ic years ago q characteristic incident
took rlace at the celebration Of the
Mehurrun in the city Of Madras. The
Shiahs were weeping aloud and beating
their breasts in the bosom Of their fami-
hes; but the Sunnis were abroad In the
streets and highways, keeping holiday.
A HindoO magistrate kept the peace, sup
ported by strong staff Of native police.
Hosts Of Asiaties appeared before his
worship, painted up and disguised q
tigers, bears, monkeys, and other animals.
Troops Of representatives Of every tFads
approached the magisteria1 bench at In
tervals to make salaams and perform
their several parts as marks Of respect to
the grave and majestic Hindoo magis-
trate, who to them was the representative
Of government, the emblem Of the state
the sirkar. The multitude of perform
ers was perfectly orderly, playing like
children, amusing and amused. Now
and then a drunken tiger or noisy bear
was brought before the bench on which
the magistrate sat with one or two Euro
pean lOOkers-on. To the uninitiated u
seemed surprising that the bulk Of the
performers were Hindoos, who had
Joined in the Mahommedan festival from
sheer love, of fun, which had overpowered
all feelings Of religious antagonism.
The Hindoo magistrate dismissed each
offender without caring whether he was
Mahommedan or Hindoo. At last, how
ever, riotous tiger was brought up for
punishment, smeared with stripes Of paint
and overcome with liquor and terror. The
frightened tiger confessed that he had
been drunk and disorderly, but begged to
excuse himself on the score that he was
Christian. Probably he was some pariah,
who only called himself o Christian in
the hope of escaping fine or imprison-
ment. But the opportunity was not to bs
had, and accordingly the worthy magis-
trate delivered q homily from the bench
for the edification Of the European gen.

The Making of an Economic Electrical
ciotor Merely a Matter OF Detail.
Some experiments which are now max
ing on both our elevated and surface
roads with a view to d.splacing horses by
electricity promise better than any of the
many attempts made during the last ten
years. remember Edison telling me one
wintry 4 av at Menlo Park in 1873 that he
thought the inventors OF the world had yet
ten years work to do before an electric
motor would be ready TO co the work on
short lines Of railroad. He had not the
slightest doubt of the ultimate success OF
such motor, and proved his own faith
in the future by investing large sum OF
mon1y in experiments with a motor OF
his own upon mile track he built out at
Nenlo park. His logged persistency in
this particular direction does not seem TO
have availed him much, although the
same will which enabled him to work for
three days and nights without sleep, go
to bed exhausted for two days and then
resume work has ended in fortune through
the success Of his light.
He said at the zine: As compared with
some of our problems in electricity, the
making of a practical and economic movor
is merely q matter Of detail There are
more than c hundred ingenious inventors
at work upon the problem and not a
month passes but some little step in adj
vance is made. One man finds better

cost of the parts; one man supplies here,
another man improves there: and looking
